SUCCESS has to do with luck and serendipity; the right place, right time is almost as important as the right idea, right support. The fourth principle is about luck and serendepity. Being at the right place right time. Of course, and we discussed that in the first principle, the idea and the environment for the idea, as well as resources, are key of becoming successful. However, and most podcast guests mentioned that they never set off to be successful. Life just happened to them as it happens to you and me. What I mean by that is that you make a decision in your life to join a start up. Or to take some time off to go back to university. Or you read the paper in your local take away and find a job ad. Whatever it is, you end up somewhere due to a portion of luck that catapults your rocket in a slightly different direction, to a higher orbit. This could be anything from meeting the right mentors, being pushed in the right direction, finding that one job, or making one choice over another. And sometimes we don’t even realise it until we reflect on it years

Life does not happen to us, it happens from us. ~ Mike Wickett Life is not happening to us. We make things happen, we influence. If all energy in a system equal zero, then any reaction triggers a reaction. Like karma. Good or bad. That means that we make life happen, we influence its cause. Nice thought. Buddha bless, Volker
